"Grandpa Huang, which emperor in history did nothing but eat and drink all day long?" Zhu Heyuan pulled his grandfather's sleeves and raised his head and asked. Chongzhen smiled so hard that his eyes turned into crescent moons, patted his grandson on the head, and said: "Those are all foolish emperors who indulge in wine and sex. They are not good things. Don't even ask." "But I just want to be such an emperor." Zhu Heyuan He mumbled and jumped up again to see if there were any pastries on the Emperor's imperial desk. My father said that he is now overweight, so he has a limited amount of sweets, and he can no longer eat whatever he wants. "You don't have to think about it." Chongzhen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The throne belongs to your eldest brother, so you can just wait and be a vassal king. But even so, you can't imitate those foolish people. I just want to eat and drink." "Oh." Zhu Heyuan felt a little disappointed and said, "Then why did your father ask my second brother what kind of emperor he wanted to be?" "Oh? ?" Chongzhen smiled, but there was a tremor in his voice. Zhu Heyuan may be said to be six years old, but in fact there are still some shortcomings. As the third child, he never enjoyed the treatment of Crown Prince Zhu Hegui. His father only played with him and never really taught him anything. Even an ordinary family can't take care of the many children at home, not to mention that his father has to take care of the entire empire. So Zhu Heyuan relayed to Chongzhen the conversation between his father and his second brother a few days ago without any ulterior motives - this cannot but show that Zhu Cixi's genetic genes are really strong, and all his sons are very smart, especially with super memory. Chongzhen just smiled, smiled, until Zhu Heyuan ran out to find something else to play and something to eat. As an emperor who had no interest in state affairs and didn¡¯t even know the names of the six ministers, Chongzhen finally felt the need to remind his son. Zhu Cixiang was stayed by Chongzhen after greeting him the next day, saying that he wanted to look at the paintings he made last night together. The father and son entered the study. However, Chongzhen had no intention of taking out the paintings. He let the emperor's son stand and sat on the Taishi chair. He said, "What do you think of the temple master?" Zhu Cixiang was a little surprised and said, "Why did the emperor come to ask this?" "Didn't you like to read the records of ancestors in the past when you were a child? Let's talk about it as father and son." At this moment, Chongzhen acted like an emperor and a father, insisting on overpowering Zhu Cixiang. "The temple master is quite far-sighted in major matters. Unfortunately, he is too stubborn and refuses to compromise." Zhu Cixiang said: "The dispute over the country is the turning point of the Ming Dynasty's prosperity and decline. In fact, it can be improved to a higher level." Chongzhen stroked his beard gently and said: "Why do you think there is a dispute over the country's foundation?" Zhu Cixi did not understand what the old emperor meant, and said: "I still don't know the reason for compromise. The Thai people say: Politics is the art of compromise, son. I think it makes sense." Chongzhen shook his head and said, "No, what I'm asking is why the temple wants to change the prince." "It's because of Concubine Zheng." Zhu Cixi was stunned. He said: "The emperor's grandfather was cautious in his words and deeds, so he would not displease the temple master. It was probably Concubine Zheng who wanted to value her mother and her son, so she instigated the temple." For Zhu Cixiang, the dispute over the country's foundation is contemporary history, and historical materials are as good as gossip. Fei, the truth and rumors are the same, but in the final analysis it was caused by a woman who wanted her son to become the emperor. "You know," Chongzhen's expression changed, "Then why do you still want to depose the prince?" Zhu Cixiang felt that he was wronged. However, his mental age is much older than Chongzhen, and he does not show any emotions. He just abided by his identity and said: "I don't know where I heard it from, my son has never had this idea." Chongzhen still didn't believe it. Zhu Heyuan is an innocent child, can he lie? "I only have one son, Duan, and all five sons are the queen's children, and they are all young. How could he change the country's foundation inexplicably?" Zhu Cixiang was quite helpless. These words just blocked Chongzhen¡¯s mouth. Because Chongzhen originally wanted to use this rhetoric to dispel his son's unreasonable thoughts. "Where did your father hear this?" Zhu Cihong turned from defensive to offensive. Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Do you think I am a fool and can't recognize people, so I can't see what you are thinking? You are obviously partial to the second child now, and you think I don't know?" "Father, this is an injustice to my son. "Yes." Zhu Cixi shouted. "No matter where I went back then, you, King Ding, and King Yong followed me." Chongzhen said: "But now, you often bring Heqi and Heyuan with you when you go out, but you don't take the crown prince with you. What's the reason?" This can indeed be regarded as a political signal. Zhu Cixiang accepted Chongzhen's statement and did not think about his youngest son. He explained: "The crown prince is now studying in the palace and is quite motivated. He has some entertainment things, so my son doesn't want to disturb him." This is a sincere recommendation for himself and others. , Zhu Cixi hated Chongzhen wherever he went.?We need to call him to affect his book writing progress. ¡°The fourth and fifth children are still young, so it¡¯s not convenient to take them out.¡± Zhu Cixiang added. Chongzhen was doubtful and said tentatively: "Actually, I also know that the second child likes you more." "Huh?" Zhu Cixiang was a little surprised: "Why didn't my son see it?" "He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise." Chongzhen said : "You have the wisdom to know others, but you don't see yourself clearly. Don't look at He Gui who keeps reading all day long and speaks like a saint. He is as sensitive and studious as you were when you were a child, but your temperament is quite weak. Although He Qi is not He is eager to learn, but his temperament of being shameless and infatuated with his own little world is exactly the same as yours." Zhu Cixiang fell silent. He was aware of his eldest son's character flaws, and was even worried that he had caused these character flaws by focusing too much on education, leaving a big shadow on his child. Precisely because there was something worthy of reflection in his eldest son's education, he was more hands-off in the education of Heqi and Heyuan, and did not interfere too much. "So if you like Heqi, you can give him a piece of heaven and earth, but the country, the country must belong to Hegui." Chongzhen said: "This is the law established by the ancestors. It was the ancestors who wanted to ensure the stability of the world, the harmony of the heaven and the family, and the harmony between relatives. Even if you don't care about it, you shouldn't be willful about the safety of the world." Zhu Cixi nodded and said: "Father, my son really wanted to appoint an emperor who is more suitable for the future development of the Ming Dynasty. ." Chongzhen looked like "it's true." "However, my son later hugged He Gui and gradually gave up the idea." Zhu Cixiang felt that he was a little moved. Zhu Hegui is his eldest son and his first son in his previous life. He has always believed that children and grandchildren will bring their own blessings. Having a son is also a political necessity, but he truly holds him in his arms every day. Watching him grow heavier and stronger day by day, and even learn to talk back, the bond between father and son becomes stronger and stronger. "That's true, I mean He Gui has been held by you all day long." Chongzhen nodded and admitted, pointing to Xiudun beside him: "Sit down." Zhu Cixi then sat down and said: "People's understanding must be good. Changed. So although I don¡¯t agree with some of the understandings of Kei, my son believes that he will definitely become more mature. After all, he is only thirteen or fourteen years old. " - This does not mean that you have not changed much. Chongzhen thought to himself, but said nothing. "What I'm worried about is his values ????and character." Zhu Cixiang said: "He Gui is a very kind boy with a soft heart. He doesn't want to see killings. He heard that people can't eat when they are in poverty." Chongzhen himself is not the same. After listening, He couldn't help but sigh. "The problem is that as an emperor, it is inappropriate to be so kind-hearted and soft-hearted." Zhu Cixiang said: "The father has the Chariot Gorge in his hands, and the son has the mountain and Shaanxi defeat in his hands. Most of them will be reviled after a thousand years." Chongzhen felt that Ears feel hot. If he had been ruthless and blocked all the bandits in the Carriage Gorge and killed them all, then the country would have been able to restore peace in the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign, and there would have been no more rebels and thieves later. At that time, these two people were only in the Carriage Gorge. Can be regarded as a small boss. Similarly, Zhu Cixiang left behind the people and resources of the Qin and Jin provinces. Instead of carrying out his own great migration, which was a waste of human life, Li Zicheng's strength further expanded. The situation in Shandong was in dire straits, and the restoration process was delayed for at least three years. There will definitely be keyboard critics in future generations who will call it "women's kindness". Neither Chongzhen nor Longjing today has the courage of a certain great leader in later generations to break everything and even dare to rebel against his own family. "Rather than saying that my son is dissatisfied with He Gui, it's better to say that his son is unwilling to accept it." Zhu Cixiang has been thinking about this issue a lot recently, and it came out all at once. "What's there to be unwilling to do?" "Go back to the era of Xu Jun." Zhu Cihong said. Chongzhen was greatly surprised: "Have we ever had a false king in the Ming Dynasty?" "There is a difference between monarchy and political power." Zhu Cixiang was not surprised at all that Chongzhenhui had no idea. Because in this era, perhaps only some elites know that the emperor may not be able to control political power. If after thirty years of Wanli there were any of Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Zhang Juzheng in the court, I am afraid that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would really only have the power of monarchy and not even any political power. After explaining the difference between monarchy and political power, Zhu Cihong said: "My father had more than enough ambition but not enough power. Although he could change his position for fifty years in seventeen years, that was just monarchy, and the political power had actually fallen by the wayside a long time ago - otherwise, how could we even have the power? Even the taxes collected cannot be raised. The son now seems to be delegating power, focusing on civil servants and generals, and clarifying responsibilities. In essence, the monarchy covers the political power. "If He Gui becomes the leader in the future, with his soft heart and kindness, there is no guarantee that he will not do this. The political power was once again given away. "Zhu Ci??Sighed: "After truly tasting the sweetness of power, a son will inevitably have selfish motives and want to continue this huge power to future generations." Chongzhen was speechless for a long time, and said quietly: "Everyone has this kind of selfishness, otherwise where would it be? "The world is our home." "Actually, if we don't think so in the future, we can simply separate the monarchy and political power, and let the emperor rule from the top." Zhu Cixiang sighed: "The Ming Dynasty belongs to my Zhu family and to the billions of people in this world. , in the final analysis, it is still theirs." After thinking for a long time, Chongzhen said: "After Emperor Qin, dynasties changed, and there was never a dynasty that survived for five hundred years. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said that people are like water, they can carry a boat and capsize it. You are the only one who dares to say that this world belongs to the people." "My son has only recently thought so." Zhu Cixiang said with a bitter smile: "After all, it is better to have power than to be a puppet. However, the times are changing, and it is better to be a puppet. It's better than being slaughtered. There was regicide in the UK over in the West. When our country changed, those rebels also targeted the royal family." Chongzhen still remembered the brutality of the country's change. The royal family was killed and the ancestral graves were dug. Even the Ancestral Temple was lost "Have you ever thought about how to prevent such tragedies from happening again?" Chongzhen asked. "Follow the heavens and follow the times." Zhu Cixi said simply: "Even my royal family cannot go against the trend. When the world's resources are in the hands of the landlords, the Tianjia will be the largest landowners in the world; when the world's resources belong to the industrial and commercial owners In this way, Tianjia will always be at the forefront, and there will always be a huge number of followers behind it. This is the foundation of Tianjia's power. " " Tianjia will always represent the most advanced. productivity needs. Zhu Cixiang concluded in his heart. Chongzhen nodded, quite satisfied with this. Although he couldn't understand the meaning himself, he could still understand it. "So even if my family wants to return power to the people of the world in the end, the influence will still be there, and the lives of our descendants will not be in worry." Zhu Cihong said. Chongzhen was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said: "After walking around the south of the Yangtze River with your mother, I feel that this world is very lovely, and I am not willing to hand it over to others." "No one is willing to hand it over. "Power." Zhu Cixiang said: "But even if you give up your power, it will always be better than holding on to it and being overthrown." "Aren't you worried about being usurped after you give up your power?" Chongzhen didn't believe that his son would be usurped, but his soft-hearted grandson couldn't be sure. "Don't worry, because I can't delegate power to one family." Zhu Cixi said with a smile: "Power or money are like rain. If they are concentrated in one place, it will be a disaster, but if they are divided equally, I am afraid it will only Add some moisture to the air." Chongzhen was completely relieved and said, "You should also tell He Gui about these things." Zhu Cixiang sighed and said, "Father, my son now truly understands your worries. "At that time, Chongzhen said to Zhu Cixiang: The emperor may not care about the opinions of everyone in the world, and does not care about the praise and criticism before and after him, but he will ultimately care about the opinions of his son. At that time, Zhu Hegui was just a little meatball, and Zhu Cihong didn't care at all. Now Zhu Cixiang dare not show Zhu Hegui the diary he painstakingly recorded, and he dare not let Zhu Hegui know that his father is actually a villain who does not use any means to achieve his goals and has no concept of benevolence, justice and integrity in his heart. The most painful thing is that Zhu Cixiang is such a villain, but he still has to educate his children: honesty and trustworthiness. The villain¡¯s ways of doing things, but also the values ????of a gentleman, are like those parents in later generations who jaywalked and spit everywhere, but still taught their children to watch the traffic lights, listen to the teacher, and be a good child who is civilized and polite. The greatest pain in life is this kind of self-disobedience. No wonder I seem to like He Qi more. Maybe it¡¯s because he dares to face the passion in his heart without any sense of shame. Zhu Cixiang thought to himself. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
